@bmills33179 Just like links to ROM sites are not allowed in the forum, please don't post links to pirate add-ons for Kodi.

I'm using a Pac-Drive from Ultimarc for my LED buttons. @savetheclocktowr made a controller software for some nice sequencing effects. It's not needed for permanent lighting, the Pac-Drive will do that out-of-the-box in Retropie.

@herb_fargus Thank you. I will google that and see if it will do the trick. Update: That seems to have done the trick. On to the next stage.

@fluffymastodons said in Some Games do not accept control input (MAME 2003):

the ones that don't, like tapper, don't do anything at all.

Is it just Midway games you're having trouble with? 'Tapper' is a Midway MCR title and none of them have worked since MAME 0.78 was originally adapted into being a RetroArch core. You're in luck though, as after several years of this being the case, the issues have been resolved just this past month. However, you'll still need to wait for the updates to make their way to RetroPie.

I've had no luck in getting this to work. I think I'm going to go back to the stable system before I tried to get FBA and arcade cheevos working. It's a shame such a small edit can cause such a huge impact. I know my case is special, but there has to be a better fix.

@bjs322 See the documentation on how to switch modes - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Child-friendly-EmulationStation/#switching-modes.

Welp, I'm an idiot. I can easily customize them in the retroarch menu and save them there, just like the docs say. Mods, feel free to delete this if you feel the need.

I was interested on Milhouse build because it's best way to play 10-bit x265 videos on raspberry pi 3.
I installed it on a new sd card but they don't smooth enough, so i think I'll give up on trying playing 10-bit x265 videos

Or on Linux, do

sudo fdisk -l

@ibshar said in Unable to configure usb gamepad on Retropi 4.4:

in jstest it showed the controlller as Microsoft Xbox 360 pad

Then it means it's already working as in 'Xbox mode'.

And how to switch the controller to xbox mode?

Look in the manual for the controller, I just saw it's possible in the item description you posted, I assume it's some button combination when you start it.

Dude you're a life saver! Thanks a lot bro, i checked the manual and found that by default the controller uses Xinput mode(used by new games) so had to switch it to Direct input mode(used by old games) and then it started working..

Cheers..

@tr33x0rs Development on the Windows version of ES stopped over 3 years ago.
RetroPie use their own fork from Aloshi's original and have implemented many, many changes and improvements.
Maybe this will interest you https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/13828/retropie-like-script-for-windows-7-8-and-10-retrocake

@caver01 Great then, thanks!

@fuzzybat23 On first install, you will need a keyboard to configure your controller. You can do this by navigating to Options -> Control setup -> Joystick Setup -> Edit Buttons.

Once you have mapped your buttons, the axis mapped to turning will navigate a menu (this has probably already been mapped) and the button mapped to fire will select an item in a menu. I have not found a way to map Escape to a button so a keyboard will be needed to bring up the menu in-game.

@az sorry, that was my fault, I was typing on my phone. Glad you got it sorted.

OK I don't know if this is the best way of doing this but it seems to be working. The new config files were saving to configs/all/retroarch/config. The retroarch file being looked at is in gba/retroarch.cfg. I simply copied the content of the new config file and overwrote the content in retroarch.cfg with the new data. I kept back ups of the original files in case anything goes haywire. So far it seems to be just fine. Thanks.

Actually, I've discovered that Retropie doesnt cause the problem, not being in Pixel causes the problem. If I run Drastic as root from pixel, then it works fine, however this requires use of a keyboard for me which I would rather avoid.

that fixed it! Not sure how I missed that in the config file. I mapped it to Nul and it works ! Thank you!!!!!
